I used to think you were just another one of those out of touch billionaires. There are so many people in America struggling to make ends meet, to survive, and even fighting suicidal tendencies–struggling to find their will to live and here you are talking about Mars and futuristic things that seem too impossible to even comprehend.

Then I discovered for myself that I was so wrong–and so sorry about that. What really got me to actually learning about you was this meme I saw on LinkedIn a few months ago saying “If you were in an elevator with Elon Musk what would your pitch be?”

It lead me to Google you, study you, and eventually follow you on Twitter. And when I saw your interviews, I saw how wrong I was. In one interview, you said you never give up on yourself which really made me reflect on my own failures in life. In all of my ventures, I’ve never had anyone tell me I would fail–which is very rare.

In 2009 I started a nonprofit. It was to raise awareness about homelessness in the USA. I was homeless when I was 9. At the time of founding the nonprofit, the average age of a homeless American was 9 years old. I didn’t think I would fail and neither did the people who believed in me. But I did. It crashed and burned, but while it was high in the sky we actually did what we set out to do: raise awareness by uniting artists of all mediums.

We were the first to bring an international movement to Atlanta, got a spot sponsored for an event at The Masquerade, something I was told was very hard to do but we did it and had a blast just trying to raise awareness from an artistic and musical base. We even had a Grammy winning guitarist behind us (he’s the one who taught me how to wire wrap).

I was so hard on myself over this failure and I didn’t want to try again. My husband said that it doesn’t matter if you fail–just as long as you try and though I understood him, I didn’t believe it. I tried to, but it just wasn’t there.

We opened and closed offices, I managed a gallery in Dallas, TX and my jewelry took off a little bit, but then the mall closed the gallery. We took a chance on a city we didn’t know: Houston. And lost almost everything in Harvey. But we survived. In fact, we were among the lucky ones.

Things happened that landed us back in Atlanta–a city filled with people who will believe in you even though they have no clue who you are. Working and trying to make it, I watched one of your interviews and seeing you talk about your first three launches were failing but you never will give up on yourself just made me realize that my failures were not as big as exploding rockets–but you still kept going.

And that really, really inspired me.

You are reaching for your dreams with everything you’ve got despite how many people are mocking, joking or downright telling you not to do it and that drive is what many people have lost due to some of the severe challenges that they face in life.

Our culture says “You can do whatever you put your mind to” while simultaneously saying “You can, buuuut, don’t. You really can’t and if you do, they will mock you, or you will fail”

And people end up giving up on their dreams, especially when those dreams become opposite of financial stability.

I want you and anyone reading this to know that your words and persistence of never giving up are the match that lit the fire behind Diamonds For Her. It’s a jewelry line I am launching that will help nonprofits that help women in need. The message: Never Give UP On Yourself. I’ve had this idea for about 3 years but never acted on it due to fears of failure.

Hearing you, a super successful person say that you thought you would fail but did it anyway, was inspiring. It doesn’t matter if you fail or not–what matters is that you do it.

In one the interviews I saw you give, it was mentioned that American heroes were against what you are doing with SpaceX. But in all honestly, not every American hero is against you. You never gave up on yourself, and you, sir, are an American hero of this age.

Your message of never giving up may not reach some of the people who need to hear it the most: the vulnerable women and children who have been through the emotional and mental hell that homelessness in America can put on them. They may see you as I did, but what I am doing will help direct that message to them. At least, that is my hope. Thank you, Elon, for staying focused on your dreams no matter what.

Right now, my family and I are in Atlanta. I am working for a pizzeria (and saving to make my dreams come true). If you are ever in the area, I’ll buy you a deep dish as a way of saying thanks for being you. I even jokingly said I’d trade some handmade jewelry for a share of Tesla but in all honestly, I’d rather just give you the jewelry (pass on to your Mom or someone who likes my design style) and buy stock when I can.

I am going to leave you with this quote from musician, Alex Boye from his song, Heart Of A Lion.

“You say you ain’t a hero, but maybe it chose you”

Sincerely,

Johnna Sabri

I want to give this to you. It’s a Moldavite wrapped in Copper and a pendant. The reason is because this stone is as unique as you are. Moldavite actually came from space. Scientists are still argueing over it’s origins but all agree it happened about 6 or so million years ago. It has a legend of the Holy Grail associated with it and I think it would be a great visual reminder for you when you face your dark times alone–a reminder that you are doing the right thing. That as long as you remain focused on your dreams, no matter the outcome, you will always be doing the right thing.

Just tell me where to send it (and do it through twitter or IG so I’ll know it’s you and not fake)

How To Feel Gratitude

Gratitude is not a feeling but a choice. It’s a decision you make every day just like eating ice cream or going to the gym. For every action, there is a reaction (Karma) and when you choose to be grateful, the Universe, God, or whoever you believe in will respond.

May think that giving thanks means that you humble yourself because you are not worthy. In fact, you are worthy. Society teaches us that we are in sin, undeserving, etc, but the truth is that we are worthy and deserving.

Being grateful opens doors that you would not believe could be opened. You may say, “But I’ve lost my job, why should I give thanks?”

Giving thanks isn’t about ignoring the fact that you just lost your job. Giving thanks is acknowledging that. You lost something that you didn’t need. Yes, I said it. That job that you probably hated anyway was something that you didn’t need.

If you give thanks and understand the science of Karma, you will KNOW that something better is coming to you and this knowing is unlocked by the action of choosing gratitude over fear.

How To Become Grateful

First you must learn that “I Am” are the two most powerful words in any language. When you state , “I Am” you are making a very powerful statement.

“I Am Broke” This statement has a very negative energetic impact on your life as a whole. It makes you see what you don’t have and that energy will just attract more of that same type.

“I AM Grateful for the opportunities that are coming my way” This statement will not only help you feel better than the first statement, but it will start a new program in your mind: a program that will scan for those opportunities and subconsciously bring them to light.

The words, I Am, create a sense of truth, of knowing. And it states that truth. Negative statements can be reversed or balanced with positive ones. Creating this habit will help you change your thinking from negative to positive.

Second, think of something you love. Or someone you love. Just think of this one thing and see yourself happy. Give thanks for that moment, feeling, person, or thing. Savor that moment. Make a daily practice of this.

Soon you will see that you will find more things to be grateful for and the act of choosing gratitude over fear will come as naturally as breathing.

Remember, November isn’t the only time to practice this. This should be a daily thing.

Guest Post by Moumita Banerjee with a special shout out to Baxter’s Fine Jewelry.

The Bride, Groom, Wedding and all these remind me of beautiful lines that Destinies change, times change, the history of nations change, emperors change, but a person whose hand has been held by the love will never change. Thus, life has given us many moments to celebrate the spirit of love, one among them is wedlock. Wedding is simply a surreal experience for both the bride & groom. Along with love and happiness, this big day celebration brings a lot of preparations with it. The most stressful and daunting part of the trousseau shopping is finding the perfect Bridal Jewelry.

With regards to this, today we are presenting our insider’s guide that can give you the detailed insight into the ways to choose the perfect Bridal Jewelry.

1. Planning & Research

When it comes to shopping for wedding jewelry, you need to plan for it carefully. Here planning includes everything, planning of budget, outfit, and jewelry. Before choosing any piece, make sure that it should complement your wedding attire so that it can accentuate your bridal look and feel. To acquire the perfect bridal jewelry, you need to do a little research regarding trending Jewelry designs and styles.

2. Don’t Over Accessorize Yourself

Everyone knows that you are a bride, so, you don’t need to highlight your look with too much of jewelry. Wearing too much of jewelry can hide the natural beauty and soberness of your attire and makeover. So, while picking out your bridal jewelry, select a very few piece that is really extraordinary in style. Over accessorizing yourself can mar your Bridal look and feel.

3. Select Metal Type Carefully

Confused in selecting the perfect metal type for your wedding jewelry? Then leave it on your wedding gown, let your wedding attire decide the Metal type of your jewelry. Say if you are dressed in white wedding gown, then silver pieces will look fabulous on you and if your gown is ivory, then Gold Jewelry works best on it. Therefore, always select the piece that complements your wedding attire.

4. Focus on Your Neckline

If you want to acquire the perfect and awe-inspiring piece of necklace for your wedding, then you need to focus on following things. One among them is Neckline of your wedding dress.

Wedding Dress with Strapless Neckline – If your wedding dress has a strapless neckline, then Choker and short necklace will work best on it.

Wedding Dress with V-Neckline – If Your Wedding dress has a V-Neckline, unquestionably, you can opt for Charms & Pendants

Wedding Dress with Halter Neckline – In such attire, sleek neckline works best to accentuate your wedding style.

If you want to try something different to add classic flavor to your bridal look, then you can consider wearing vintage-inspired jewelry. This vintage jewelry is the perfect way to exude more than just a style. You can also wear your mom or granny’s Heirloom to add a perfect vintage look to your Bridal style.

Jewelry is the perfect accessory to add spark to your simple look and accentuate your persona & style. Wear that bridal jewelry which adds a vibe of elegance and boldness to your look, it should not overwhelm your bridal look. So, you can consider these above aspects to acquire a bridal piece that ensures you with great value for money.

Takara United Is On A Mission To Empower People.

I happen to know both the Founder and Co-Founder, although my experience with them is very, very personal. I was a young child whose mother was facing homelessness–a lot.

But, what Kirsi didn’t mention in her brief introduction of me in their article on me was that there is more to why my mother was homeless. Kirsi didn’t know, and I didn’t know until a few years ago.

A Quick Backstory Of How Kirsi Helped Me When I Was A Vulnerable Child

My mother was raped and I did not know this until about a year after she died. That incident traumatized her in a way that I can never imagine no matter how much empathy I have.

I grew up with a mom whose outlet was hoarding. She hated taking baths and the house was straight out of an episode of Animal Hoarders.

I would often go to church to escape. Or to school or the library. Church was where I met this vibrant soul with four beautiful babies. She needed a sitter and I volunteered. Sometimes I would stay over and then one summer, the hoarding got really bad and Kirsi found out.

My mother hated Kirsi, but Kirsi just kept loving my mother in a way that actually started a road to her own healing. (That road was long, but Mom traveled and was at peace when she crossed over.) Kirsi saw the inside of our house, didn’t believe my mom when Mom said it was my fault–and Kirsi was one of the few people who didn’t believe my mom.

My mom often blamed me for her hoarding problem. So did her bosses and anyone else that would find out. In fact, that blame also came from several family members on her side who I could never understand why they hated me until learning of her rape.

I never really knew my birth family growing up. I do remember Aunt Effie screaming at me about what a bad child I was.

I had one phone conversation with my biological dad. It literally tore my mother up to even talk about him so when she found out I had a conversation with him on the phone, she went in to shock. I remember that day clearly: the tears in her eyes, the hurt mixed with hate and agony. It was like I stabbed her in the heart.

I was 17 at that time. I had no idea why my mother looked at me like that. Until 2012 when a friend of my mothers told me she confided in her that she was raped. And I was that result.

At first, I didn’t believe it because no one could confirm the story. Then I started getting to know my relatives on her side. There were many stories and two sides of a huge fight that I was always told that I was the cause of. This fight was why we moved to Louisiana where no one knew us.

The stories all came together: many thought she was on drugs and using me to make drug money. But during my life, I never saw any drugs. Only cigarettes. In fact, Mom was adamant about no drugs, no boys, and alcohol period.

One of her cousins told me a story about how when I was 2, we were in a restaurant and I was throwing food at people. Mom just sat there with a lost glazed look in her eyes. They didn’t understand why she couldn’t control me.

And every single one of the ones I did speak to all had the same story about my birth: They didn’t know about me until one day, she just appeared with a baby.

I digress.

Kirsi saved me that year in a way that no one could. She even gave me a very precious gift of jewelry that had been in her family for generations.

Her children were so sweet and one little girl used to crawl in my lap when I attempted to read Finnish children’s books to them. This little girl would giggle and say, “No, it’s pronounced this way,”

That little girl grew up to start Takara United.

The Story of Takara United

Uniqua grew up to have a love for fashion. One day, she and Kirsi were watching a documentary called True Cost, which educated them about the real cost of creating the fashions of the world. Uniqua’s marketing in journalism and Kirsi’s fashion design degrees were just a few blocks of the foundation.

They began to educate themselves and then an idea was born. They got to visit Freeset Bags & Apparel, based out of Kolkata , India.

This company helps bring women out of Asia’s red light districts, teaches them to sew and helps them to overcome being victimized. It helps them take their power back one stitch at a time. Kirsi and Uniqua got to see in a hands on setting how fashion can be used a a force for change and social empowerment which showed them they were on the right track.

The idea kept growing and became an inferno when Uniqua took a business course, drafted a plan and Kirsi started working on her creativity with designing.

Uniqua chose the name, Takara, because of it’s meaning. It is Japanese for treasure.

Goals

Takara United is something that gathers together treasures from all over the globe: handwoven silk shirts from India to handmade Moroccan rugs and presents them in a way that has a positive impact that benefits everyone.

Right now they are working on networking with partners, building a building a community of like-minded women, and getting their core collection to production.

Takara Women

Takara Women is a segment on their website that features a woman who is an artisan.

“We’re for the women who are confident yet vulnerable, courageous yet down to earth. For her, whose definition of beauty is staying true to herself, and who’s not afraid to take a stand or go head forward towards her dreams. For the overcomers who always choose to embrace life and love; for all of the diamonds that started off as chunks of coal.”~~ Takara United.

How Is Your Life Right Now?

Millions in Puerto Rico are displaced. Durban, SA just had a huge storm with devastating losses. Fires, quakes and storms seemed to be the topics of the fall, 2017.

In August, our truck was stolen. We had just moved to Houston to try out a new city. My business was slow to the point that we were almost starving. My husband, a bachelor holding former head of design at the University of Dubai, was having no luck in his field in Dallas. So we tried Houston.

Every day I kept giving thanks. My mantra was the song by DJ Khaled and Sizzla and I made that my prayer. Every day I made just enough to cover food, electric or a bill. When my husband had to have emergency back surgery, the $19K bill was taken care of by a charity.

That day of the surgery, he went into the ER and told me while I was at the store. He came home and told me about the surgery. Everything happens so fast when it is meant to be.

When a job opportunity came for my husband in North Carolina we took it. We made arrangements to get the rest of our belongings that we couldn’t take with us on the Greyhound.

Not even a week later our apartment was underwater. Hurricane Harvey was a monster that devastated much of the Houston area.

The lyric from Alex Boye in his song, Celebrate rang very true to that situation: “When you give love, the Universe will find a way to change your fate,”

If we would have been in Houston, we would have truly lost everything and maybe our own lives.

There’s A Reason Why We Celebrate

One of my favorite artist’s, Alex Boye, just came out with this beautiful song back in September and I am just now getting to it. I’ve been stuck on DJ Khaled’s song Grateful with Sizzla and a few more of Alex’s videos. So I’m a little late to the game (but I’m here!)

Some of you may have been through the wringer–lost everything. Maybe some of you are in Puerto Rico right now waiting in line for a bottle of water and hoping that you’ll survive this day.

I’m celebrating because you’re still breathing. I’m still breathing. We are still here, and we do have the ability to change our situation. It all starts with perception.

If’ you’ve lost everything, give thanks for your life. It doesn’t matter what religion you are–the vibrational frequency of gratitude will attract abundance. It’s all based upon your frequency.

People are saying they are sick of thoughts and prayers. I’m not because those are loaded with positive vibrational frequencies. Even prayer is a frequency.

Frequency vs. Religion

What is frequency? What does it mean and how does it play into our lives?

According to Merriam-Webster, Frequency is:

“The rate at which a vibration occurs that constitutes a wave, either in a material (as in sound waves), or in an electromagnetic field (as in radio waves and light), usually measured per second.”

That’s just one of their core definitions depending on how the word is used in grammar.

Basically, when you tap your finger at a certain pace, you create a frequency. When people pray, they create frequencies. The more people praying at the same time, the more frequencies created.

In Islam, the name of God, Allah, has a certain frequency. It has a similar frequency to the incantation, Om. The sound of Om, many believe, is a simple incantation to pay homage to the powers that allow the very existence (God, the Universe, etc), making it primordial.

In Christianity, the Bible says, “There is one whose rash words are like sword thrusts, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.” Proverbs 12:18

When you speak you not only vocalize your thoughts, but you energize those thoughts with sound frequencies. Add in emotion and it amplifies it more. Wear a certain crystal (quartz or moldavite) and you become an energetic powerhouse for that frequency.

Why? Because every time you say anything, you create movement within the atoms of your body. And depending on the energy frequency of that thought you are speaking, it can be either positive or negative.

The Law Of Attraction says that like attracts like. So when you complain of everything bad in your life, you are not only seeing only the bad, but you are attracting it more.

Mom always said worrying was like asking God for trouble. When you worry, you only see problems and tend to overlook the solutions.

Sometimes It’s Really Hard To Celebrate

“I’ve just lost my home, I can’t afford to throw a party,” someone told me. You don’t need to throw a party. Celebrating means doing something for you.

It means choosing you first. It means giving thanks to our Creator for your life. It means overcoming self hatred (many suffer from this) one step at a time. It means choosing to celebrate. It is a choice.

There are many ways to celebrate even if you are down in the dumps. Even if you have clinical depression–remember it’s all in the frequency. Diseases have frequencies, too, that can be balanced by their opposite frequencies.

Listen to uplifting music. Alex Boye has so many positive videos with phrases such as “Draw me back like and arrow and shoot me to the stars” or “You can be bitter or better,” or “Love each other”.

I Am That I Am

“I Am” are the two most powerful words in any language when they are put together. They dictate your life according to your free will. What do you want to be, do or say? Focus on that and not the problems.

A Powerful Message of Self Love

There is a guy who has a light that is so bright it reaches across the vastness to the millions who need to see it shine.

I absolutely love this guy. His messages are so empowering and uplifting and if there is anyone out there struggling with self love, the guilt of self love (feeling guilty for wanting to put yourself first) then this message is for you.

No, he is not of the Annunaki–he’s not that old! His real name is Richard Williams and Prince Ea is his stage name. He is a spoken word artist, poet, rapper with a degree in anthropology.

He started out by simply wanting to be one of the best rappers out there. However, he started realizing that he was unhappy.

He was comparing himself to other musicians and he stopped making music. But don’t let that make you think he gave up on his dream. His dream changed. He simply wanted to be happy.

He did something that many people do not do. We are often programmed by society who says never give up on your dreams. But are they your dreams?

Ego says you must never give up on your dreams or you will fail. Then it will flare up and make you compare yourself to others. All in all, many people go through this and are miserable.

Instead of arguing with yourself about your dreams, ask why are they your dreams? Where do they come from? And if your dream is meant to come true, have faith that it will.

“Through literature and introspection I realized that ‘doing‘ will never make me happy, it is only in ‘being‘ where happiness and peace arises.”— Prince Ea

With this in mind, I want to talk about self love and a video of his that really helped me understand myself more.

Why Does It Feel Wrong To Love Yourself?

My mother always told me how beautiful I was and that she would always love me no matter what. I didn’t have a father. I did have a tumultuous childhood due to my mother’s own traumas she was dealing with throughout her life.

We struggled a lot. I was exposed to the cruelty of this world at such a young age because my mother couldn’t afford babysitters while she worked a third shift.

I learned early on that people of the world were sexually, emotionally, mentally sick.

I was often told by relatives that I was a mistake. That I was bad. That my mother would be better off if she didn’t choose to have me.

There were conversations I overheard that even though I was a child and didn’t understand the words, my subconscious understood the vibration and incorporated it into how I should see myself.

My mother was always my advocate. She made sure that if I were bullied in school, I fought back. And I did. Until a teacher in high school decided that bullying was okay. That’s another blog post.

So even though I had a good mother, I often fought those doubts. In fact I never fought. Those doubts crushed me into millions of mental pieces. Poetry, art, writing, music all rose up from the cracks of those pieces and helped me grow into who I am today.

And today, I have the answer for that question: why does it feel wrong to love yourself?

Because doing so is going against the programming that you’ve been receiving from all sides since birth. It means fighting for yourself first.

It means understanding that despite the fact your father didn’t want you, that guy rejected you, your teacher bullied you, another said you would never make it–you are worthy of your own love.

Fighting For Yourself

What does it mean to love yourself? How can you love yourself when you are such a horrible person–you don’t deserve to exist?

Those were often my thoughts during my teenage years. Hidden beneath my smile and drowned in hopes and dreams. Hopes that I would somehow find someone who would show my how to love myself.

I would always go into this dream world and honestly, have suicidal thoughts. But even though those thoughts were so dark there was always a ray of hope hidden.

At the end I would always change my mind and want to live. I would always somehow make it. I would go through so much hell, almost die and somehow, survive.

Counselors would say, “Look into the mirror and say I love you” which was weird as hell. I remember how hard it was to look into my own hazel eyes and gush at how much I loved that person on the other side.

She would know I was lying and hate me even more.

But those counselors were on the right track. What they were trying to get me to do was to reprogram my mind. But it felt like I was lying to myself, so it didn’t work.

You see, your brain is a computer. They always said that in school and it’s true. You can literally change the world by changing your own perception of it.

Instead of looking in the mirror feeling as if you are lying to yourself, change your perception. You are programming yourself. You are showing yourself how to love yourself.

I Love Myself

Today, I can truthfully say that I am beginning to love myself unconditionally. I say beginning because you can’t just love yourself and move on. It’s not turning on a light switch.

It’s a constant battle against the mind numbing programming you’ve been dealing with since birth.

But how can I explain how I love myself? I mean, why is it important? Why do I deserve self love? WHY? What do I gain from loving myself?

Then I saw this video in my feed and for me, it helped me to answer the whys and hows.
